We are six days away from leaving for Hawaii to partake in the celebration of my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. I'm so excited! I can't wait to see my family! I haven't seen them since the wedding. They can't stop talking about the wonderful time they had in Kauai!
It is dé·jà vu all over again, planning another destination wedding. A lot of moving pieces, but not as hectic as last year. The primary factor was gathering funds for the reception. Considering last years debacle, I was well prepared to head the planning. As much as budget is key, yay our budget is very lean.
The family's pitching in to make ends meet. Chris, eldest, is doing the center pieces. The Albins, the fifth sibling, is burning the music on the CD(s); our favors. Nolan, youngest, is doing the decorating. Alvin, third eldest, is handling the food and vendor. Everyone else is filling in where they can. I designed and distributed the invitations, and created the artwork for the CD inserts and cover. As I am big saavy sop on Photoshop. Furthermore, mom will be so thrilled to see the dress I got for her. Whoopee!
It's all coming together. I'm looking foward to the once in a lifetime event. Mom and Dad are so excited for the family's homecoming. Most of all, they should be more excited for the big five oh.
Lesson: A humble Grasshopper in order to advance foward you must remember where you came from.
